Ardha Padma Vrksana (Half lotus tree, squatting twist version)
May 13, 2008
Do as before. Place hands together at chest or overhead. Bend right leg at knee, placing back of right foot high up on left thigh. Hold the pose, breathing comfortably. Now inhale; exhaling, squat lightly at the hips. Inhale. Exhaling twist to the right side as much as you can comfortably. Hold the pose as long as is comfortable, breathing normally. Release and repeat for left side.
Benefits: Same, but more enhanced as above. Apart from toning and shaping lower limbs, this pose also causes a transverse traction along the spine, powering and making it more flexible. The squeeze on the abdominal region also improves metabolism, while toning the liver.
